My pet peeve about aid surveys is that they usually don’t ask people how much ‘we’ actually spend on aid. This is important as according to a UK survey in 2004 most people massively overestimate aid expenditure, and when told the actual amount more think it should be increased than decreased.

One of the US surveys I linked to also shows this. I need to check but don’t think the NZ survey asked it unfortunately, although on a range of other questions responses indicated the public didn’t know much about aid (didn’t know about NZ – thought we gave more in private donations than govt aid etc…)
